Thanks everyone for all your posts.

Dad has now been moved to a side ward, & when I left him 1/2 hour ago to come home & have a quick shower & something to eat he looked peaceful & comfortable.

He had a blood clot in his leg at the weekend, he then had a stroke yesterday afternoon & has been unconscious since, all this after being diagnosed with liver cancer 2 weeks ago.

They are giving him morphine & letting nature take its course.

We really thought he was going to be ok for a bit longer, but as soon as they told him that they were going to send him to the hospice he semed to go downhill so quickly.

I am going back there to sit with him (along with my BB, SIL & nieces) later this evening.

Love Cazi xx

Nature takes over.  We can only wait and watch.  Remember though that hearing is the last sense to disappear so talking to him and not about him is important!!!! reminiscence over the bed between yourselves too.  Holding his hand?  So he is aware.

Thinking of my Dad today on what would have been his 75th birthday - hope he's having a BBQ to celebrate in that campsite in the sky.  Love you and miss you Dad, always.

Thinking also of Cazikins and her family xxx

CLKD, thank you for reminding me about the hearing scese being the last to disappear, I had truly forgotten that. We put it to good use last night & again today.
I had a few minutes to myself with him this afternoon, & I sang to him.
I've been a Wild Rover,
Home, Home on the Range,
Country Roads.
And he squeezed my hand, just a tad but I knew he could hear me & was humming along.

Thinking of Scampis' dad too today. Happy BBQ'ing up in the sky, save a burger for my Dad. :)

Thanks Dyan,  :-*

We think he is in stage 2 of 3 now. They have upped the morphine dose.
The custos of the alms house where dad lives came round to read the last rites this afternoon, it was very moving & fitting.
OH & I are back up there this evening - just might have to have another sing song..... Inky Pinky Parlez Vous... no no no I must not sing that song (but then again it is a song I overheard dad singing once).
 ;D ;D ;D
